Wrensup Posted 12 August, 2018 Share Posted 12 August, 2018 Midfield is non existent again. Can't complete two passes or keep any possession It’s shameful, keep getting closed down constantly and no movement at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Marco Posted 12 August, 2018 Share Posted 12 August, 2018 Awful start, thankfully the decisions are going our way. Should be at least 0-2 by now. Lemina, Armstrong and Romeu have been garbage so far. Can't keep hold of the ball at all. Come on Saints, its Burnley at home ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, like Forster - he's probably just in bad form/low on confidence/carrying an injury... and he's young, so therefore guaranteed to improve.

Sheaf Saint Posted 12 August, 2018 Share Posted 12 August, 2018 Decent header from Lemina. Comfortable for Hart. At last we look like we actually have some desire to get forwards and try and score, but the quality still isn't there. And as I type, we nearly get carved open on the break.

Crab Lungs Posted 12 August, 2018 Share Posted 12 August, 2018 Can I just say Wesley Hoedt has now been at fault for two awful pieces of defending. The missed header/disregarding of the ball and the 2 on 1 cl()sterf()ck which we got away with. It's only been 20 minutes. How this bloke is a professional footballer let alone ahead of Yoshida is beyond me. Utter cr4p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golac's Iron Gonads Posted 12 August, 2018 Share Posted 12 August, 2018 this is a very worrying first 20 minutes of the season. Lot of problems that won't be sorted by the team gelling. Austin too slow, Redmond not good enough, Lemina isolated in midfield, 4 center backs that wouldn't make a good one if you could add them all together. Nothing going forward and Burnley keeping possession as easily as Barca would against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisenberg Posted 12 August, 2018 Share Posted 12 August, 2018 How Redmond is in ahead of Elyounoussi is beyond me Makes me seriously question Elyounoussi ability and potential Everytime Redmond gets the ball you can guarantee he'll pass it to them or get tackled with absolute ease.

Also, somebody please explain to me how setting up ultra-defensively and hoofing it to the centre forward works when said CF is the least mobile in the league?
